Electron transport properties of strained-Si on relaxed Si1 – xGex channel MOSFETs have been studied using a Monte Carlo simulator. The steady- and non-steady-statehigh-longitudinal field transport regimes have been described in detail. Electronvelocity-overshoot effects are studied in deep-submicron strained-Si MOSFETs, wherethey show an improvement over the performance of their normal silicon counterparts.The impact of the Si layer strain on the performance enhancement are described indepth in terms of microscopic magnitudes
